    Just getting into spin fishing, been out twice this week. Saw 10 fish the first day, hooked three, pulled two hooks and lost the other one close to shore. I need practice! No luck last night, did see a couple though but no luck.

    I have noticed a few fish following the lure in but not biting? Should I change lures? I have been switching between the veltic 3 hook lures and the gold/black tobys.

    Black and Gold Toby's rock.

    If the fish are following it try to speed up the retrieve for a couple of turns.

    I've been using a Green and Gold Mepps .... been catching little buggers and I mean little like Mrs D caught above.

    Like you the big buggers show some interest but only follow the lure in.

    Another method is to tie on a plastic bubble with a nymph or wet fly 300mm or so underneath it.

    Cheers
    Pete
